I have ELK setup on one server and logs i am trying to read on another. But on kibana i dont see index created from filebeat. Filebeat console output works properly and showing my logs. filebeat.yml: ```auto filebeat.inputs: - type: log enabled: true paths: - /opt/oasirx/app/spritcs/logs/*.log scan_frequency: 5s output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["172.25.10.60:9200"] xpack.montoring: enabled: true elasticsearch: hosts: ["172.25.10.60:9200"] ``` ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 What do the Filebeat logs show? Can you see anything in monitoring for the Filebeat instance? What is the output of `GET _cat/indices?v` on Elasticsearch? ---
